If you are supporting someone with a thyroid disease, this podcast episode is for you.
In this episode, I share some advice for you to help that person out.
Here are a few considerations:
Be as supportive as you possibly can. Engage them in conversation and listen, actively.
Encourage them to write things down and be sensitive in your approach. It's really difficult to go through so many changes that most people just can't see.
It's hard for someone suffering to reach out and try to explain what's going on when they don't know. Encourage them and let them know that they're doing a good job.
Meet them where they are and allow them to recognize that they're not alone and that there are people in their life that care about them.
